Why I Ride: I am determined to go the distance for all those affected by Alzheimer’s — my late grandmother (Myrtle Kirkpatrick), my friends’ parents and family members and my mom’s better-half, her church members and friends…for all those affected honestly. I am inspired by the strength of the more than 6 million Americans living with this disease, and the over 11 million family members and friends who provide them with care.
Right now, there is no shortage of ideas in Alzheimer’s research — only dollars.I am participating on the Ride to End ALZ and with each mile I ride, I am raising funds to advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. Thank you for cheering me and my teammates on! — Tonya
